City : Los Angeles
County : Los Angeles

Agency : LAPD
Cause of Death : Beaten/bludgeoned
Event : Killed during training exercise
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On May 26, 2022, Officer Houston Ryan Tipping, a 32-year-old member of the Los Angeles Police Department, sustained a catastrophic spinal cord injury during a training exercise at the Elysian Park Police Academy in Los Angeles, California. The exercise involved grappling with another officer, during which Officer Tipping fell and suffered severe injuries. Despite immediate medical attention, including CPR administered by fellow officers and transport to a local hospital, Officer Tipping succumbed to his injuries on May 29, 2022.
.
Following his death, Officer Tipping's mother, Shirley Huffman, filed a wrongful death claim against the city, alleging that her son was intentionally assaulted during the training exercise. Attorney Bradley Gage, representing Huffman, claimed that Officer Tipping was involved in investigating an alleged gang rape incident involving four LAPD officers in July 2021. Gage suggested that one of the officers under investigation was present during the training exercise and that Officer Tipping was targeted in retaliation for his whistleblowing activities.
.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner's office conducted an autopsy and ruled Officer Tipping's death as accidental, attributing it to injuries sustained during the training exercise. LAPD Chief Michel Moore stated that Officer Tipping was not beaten by other officers and described the incident as a tragic accident.
.
However, the allegations raised by Officer Tipping's family have led to increased scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding his death. The family's attorney highlighted discrepancies in the official accounts and called for a thorough investigation into potential misconduct and retaliation within the department.
